CHARLESTON, SC (FOX 24 NEWS NOW) – A family turned upside down in the blink of an eye. On one fateful morning, Ann Capicotto, awoke to find her step daughter dead in her bed. What happened next could happen to anyone.

Jean and Manny Capicotto, the woman’s parents joined us in-studio to talk about their family’s harrowing experience.

Jean wrote a book about the incident called “I Am With You Always – Challenging A Family’s Faith In A Time Of Tragedy.” It’s a true story of leaning on God for help in this test of a lifetime.

Ann was only 20 years old when this life changing ordeal happened.

Her parents say she was innocent but somehow was wrongly accused, convicted, interrogated for 16 hours and sent to prison for 22 years to life with no evidence.
